chaquetas de invierno son demasiado grandes para utilizar en el asiento del coche. eliminarlos antes de usar el cinturón. winter coats are too bulky to wear in the car seat so you have to take them off before you put their seatbelt on

Haha! Love it…thanks for the reminder why we moved here (partly to not have to deal will all that snow and cold). Your Spanish is coming along great! Here are a few helpful hints for your continued growth in the language. If these are not desired in the future just let me know.

For next steps, check out present perfect tense. It will be tremendously useful (por ejemplo: no han visto nieve instead of ven).

Also here are a few helpful verbs: “Conducir” is a great way to say drive, but in Puerto Rico we use “guiar” which also means to guide. “Quitar(se)” is the verb to remove clothing rather than “eliminar” which is closer to literally elimate. And “adivinar” is the word for guess. Also you can use “prender” instead of in “encender” -though both are used sometimes. (Oh and culo is a bit vulgar…try nalgas or pompis -haha 😉 )

Also practice por and para (the title of this post should be para). Like ser and estar, subjunctive and imperfect tense it’s hard for English speakers because we don’t really use these. Just takes time/exposure.

To be honest I put chunks of phrases into google translate because I was writing this on my phone. Yeah, I know the pluperfect or whatever you called it. I need to practice it more. I’ve pretty much given up on poor vs para ????
